We look forward to seeing you in San Diego! Join us in this Special Interest Group (SIG) meeting…

Join us in this Special Interest Group (SIG) session and hear from 3 different geospatial authorities on their work to implement the newly agreed UN-GGIM Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (IGIF) to bridge the geospatial divide.

US States, Federal, and private sector partners collaborate to build, visualize, and share a robust National Address Database to meet the needs for open and authoritative data across government and industry.

Esri UC 2020: SDI and Geospatial Collaboratives Sessions Flier.pdf

SDI and Geospatial Collaboratives Session

Audience: Executive Sponsors, GIOs, GIS Managers, GIS Council Members and Stakeholders in government, industry, NGOs, higher education

Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) are rapidly evolving. Together, the internet and cloud computing are transforming the way organizations manage data and collaborate. Web GIS is significantly easier to use, deploy, and integrate into an SDI ecosystem than traditional system. Whether you call it an NSDI, OneMap, Regional Information System, Geoportal, or otherwise, SDI are pervasive at all levels of government and across many sectors. In this session you will learn how to leverage the ArcGIS platform to create new value for your SDI. Use ArcGIS Online and Hub with Open Data to set up a standards-compliant multi-organizational data sharing portal that will delight your partners and end-users.

*Join the Open Platform team virtually July 13-16, 2020 in the UC Expo for this and related on-demand Workshops and Demo Theater Presentations.
